The National Eatery and Speakeasy 4.4

We are an organic farm to table restaurant. The Diack Family Farm, Brightside, is based in the foothills of the ancient Magaliesberg Mountain Range. Blessed with rich, fertile soil,
the farm produces virtually all in-season vegeatables used by both Coobs, the National & now the Federal kitchens.
Only organic methods - no poisons or inorganic fertislisers- are used to grow our vegetables.
We are working toward using our own seed, leaving a
small portion of each crop to go to seed.

The farm also provides both restaurants with free-range chickens,ducks, and eggs, acorn fed pigs andwild boar as well as grass
fed Suffolk Lamb and Dexter Beef. The plates of delicious food in the restaurant are decorated with beautiful flowers harvested in the garden.

The farm is a perfect circle in as much as all the manure from the animals is used on the garden as well as the
composted cuttings. The restaurant egg shells which we put in the soil as well as all the edible waste
that the pigs love! Even empty milk bottles adorn the soft fruit trees, filled with natural bug lure,to safeguard our fruit.

The farm kitchens produce chutneys and jellies, some cheeses and charcuterie products.

Brightside is a magical, happy place with all manner of livestock foraging all over the place, staff working with
a song on their lips and , of course, the remarkable gardens.
